Orange Tree House Full Description
Welcome to Orange Tree House where we specialise in making your wedding day one to truly remember. We fell in love with Orange Tree House, situated in the pretty historical village of Greyabbey on the shores of Strangford Lough, over 8 years ago. Since then we have restored the beautiful 1820's stone barn style church and transformed it into a unique conference and wedding venue. When we opened in October 2014, for the first time in over 110 years, a bride and groom celebrated their wedding here.   We believe in "Your day, your way". Whether you opt for a traditional, elegant wedding or take a more alternative approach, we will endeavour to accommodate your plans. Orange Tree House is a totally private venue but, unlike most other private venues, we also provide all of your catering, bar, furniture, tableware etc. so all you need to do is choose your date, menu and drinks then relax and enjoy your day.   As well as having the beautiful stone barn style banqueting room with its exposed beams at your disposal, you and your guests can enjoy the Orangerie with its open fire. You can sip a cocktail or two in our stunning guest lounge which overlooks Strangford Lough (a designated area of outstanding natural beauty) and onwards towards Whiterock Bay, with the Dromara Hills and the Mourne Mountains as a backdrop. Here you can also relax and enjoy the amazing sunsets, whatever the weather.   The function room can comfortably accommodate up to 130 guests for ceremonies and dinner with room for extra evening guests up to a total of around 160. We are also perfect for more intimate weddings with smaller guest numbers. We have over 100 bed spaces within a 5 minute radius, many within walking distance and are located half an hour from Belfast.   We would be delighted to show you around and discuss your plans!

The best wedding venue in the most magical spot!
We just wanted to reach out to say thank you again for making our wedding day so amazing! Planning a wedding from the other side of the world seemed virtually impossible and potentially very stressful but you guys made it so easy - you were always so responsive and willing to help (even allowing us to view the the venue by FaceTime and answering our probably obscure questions)! On the day you are like a well oiled machine, everything ran on time and we didn’t need to worry about a thing!

Very impressed by how organised it was
We had the most wonderful wedding in August 2023. I wanted to write to say a massive thank you to everyone at the venue who made everything so wonderful and seamless. The whole day felt both chilled and exciting at the same time! Everything ran so smoothly, from rehearsal , ceremony, drinks reception, the meal and evening-do. Very impressed by how organised it was, Michael had lovely a manner about him and made us feel at ease and looked after the entire day.

It is by far the most perfect venue
We just wanted to send over a message to thank each and everyone who made our day on the 1st July 2023. It was the best day ever and everyone was so helpful and friendly. The food was outstanding, absolutely delicious! Michael is such a credit to your team, nothing is to much for him & everything went so so smoothly, a massive personal thank you to him. It is by far the most perfect venue and we would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything and answering any questions I had.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
A massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the best day of our lives. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day and it would not have been possible without you. All the details, little and big, exceeded our expectations. Us and all our guests were smiling from ear to ear from start to finish. From our first viewing to the bottle of Prosecco when packing up our stuff, we have loved every second of working with you. The food was absolutely out of this world.

If we could do it all over again, we would!
I just wanted to say a massive thank you from Mr and Mrs Blythe! Philip and I have just come down from the excitement of the wedding! From the moment we had the viewing back in October 2021 to picking up our things the next day, all of you have been nothing but the most helpful people in the world. Every single person commented on how personable your staff were and how easy it was to ask for things, no question was a problem on the day. All I can say is thank you for being such a good team!
